does the metal parts on the bottom of the grinder rust ?

I have had one for about 10 years, and there have been no issues with rust. By far the best pepper grinder I have ever used.

I have had this machine for two years and it hasn't rusted yet. I haven't had to clean it either.

No the grinder does not show any signs of rust or corrosion. And this comment comes after hevey use of said item. Would recommend this pepper grinder.

Absolutely none and my service for 16 is in daily use. I'm sure I have over exposed it to water on occassion -- but no rust. Love it.

The cutting edge grinders are metal, there does appear to be a plastic washer. My wife says it is not perfect, but pretty good. This makes it a 7 or 8 out of a possible 10.

Yes. It's the part that screws in and holds the blade. It is a very durable and hard plastic. I do love the grinder! Works so well and would recommend trying it.

No but I notice a few spots on the outside of the pot that are getting discolired but it's not rust. I empty my pot each time I use it, not because of rust but to keep down a hard water build up.

Yes, I believe so. I have been using mine for 2 years and there are no rust spots or signs of wear.

I have the grinder and the salt does clump in the humid weather. It still grinds okay though.

I've had it for several months now and use it regularly and no rust so far.. that was my fear as well, which is why i made sure i bought a stainless steel grater. So at this point, no rust at all :)

Mine didn't last long enough to rust. The little plastic ring that holds the beaters cannot be replaced. Hamilton-Beach told me that at this time, they don't sell any parts. It has been sitting around for over a year and there is not sign of rust anywhere. Note the veiled warning about the plastic components. BTW, the motor functions perfectly -- there's just no way to hold one beater in its housing.

I have not had any problems with metallic residues. The grinder I use has an ABS plastic body not the metal body of older units. These are Kitchenaid blades and the rotating blade is single sided but the die is compatible with any of the blades. To date I chopped about 20 Lbs of meat; beef, pork, and lamb. I hope this helps.Richard

There has been no rusting of any kind on my silverware. I have had it for almost a year.

I have never found any rust inside mine. Inside looks fine. I use it once a day.

I live in NJ and it is very humid in the summer. The spindle in the middle is stainless steel that is corrosive resistant. The grinder has never clogged. My grinder is 2 years old and still works as well as day 1. You won't be disappointed with this grinder.

I have had mine for a while and it does not have any rust on it at all. Now, I must tell you that I do not put it in the dishwasher and wash it immediately after I use it and let it air dry. The blades are sharp, and I am very pleased with the purchase.

Yes, mine has signed of rust, but in full disclosure its because I don't take it apart to clean it and allow for it to dry.

I'm actually not sure about that one... The grinder is "stone" so water SHOULD be fine... But I don't know. I've washed out the receptacle part but haven't felt the need to clean the grinder yet.
